'H. MOORE. SEWING MACHINE.

No. 554,392. Patented Feb. 11, 1896.

NITED STATES IIARREY MOORE, OF YVELLINGBOROUGII, ENGLAND.

SEWING-MACHINE.

SPECIFICATION forming part of Letters Patent No. 554,392, dated February 11, 1896.

Application filed January 6, 1894.

To 60% whom, it may concern:

Be it known that 'I, I-IARREY Moons, a subj ect of the Queen of Great Britain and Ireland, residing at "ellingborough, in the county of Northampton, England, have invented certain new and useful Improvements in Sewing- Machines; and I do hereby declare the following to be a full, clear, and exact description of the invention, such as will enable others skilled in the art to which it appertains to make and use the same.

This invention relates to sewing-machines and it consists in the novel construction and combination of the parts hereinafter fully described and claimed.

In the accompanying drawings, Figure 1 is a longitudinal section through the mechanism for actuating the shuttle. Fig. 2 is a cross-section through the disk (1 Fig. 3 is a cross-section through the shaft g, showing the disk (1 Fig. at is a longitudinal section through the disk d Fig. 5 is a cross-section similar to Fig.3, but showing the parts in a different position.

The rotary shuttle or hook a is fixed on a hollow shaft b mounted in a bearing 0 depending from the cloth-plate c. The hollow shaft Z) is driven from a counter-shaft d, itself driven from the main shaft. The counter-shaft d is parallel to the shaft 1), but eccentric to it, and the shaft b is driven by means of a link 6 and arm e from a stud e fixed to a disk d mounted on the end of the counter-shaft cl. The eccentricity of the shaft d causes the shuttle or hook at to be driven at a variable speed, so that when the hook is taking'the thread from the needle the speed is slow.

The thread-case f is maintained stationary in the shuttle or hook at by means of the stopshaft 9, mounted in the hollow shaft 1) and provided at its front end with a'forked arm 9 projecting within the hook or shuttle and Serial No. 496,021. (No model.)

engaging with a projection f 4 on the back of the thread-case. The back end of the stopshaft projects beyond the end of the hollow shaft 12 into the disk 01 which is made hollow, as shown in Fig. 4, and is provided at its front end with an inwardly-projecting flange d The stop-shaft g is notched at g to receive the flange (i which on account of its eccentricity keeps the shaft g stationary while it rotates itself. one disk (1 is made in two parts secured together by screws 01 so that the stop-shaft can be readily inserted in place from the front and to facilitate the removal of the hook or shuttle when required. Guidepins 01 fixed to one part of the disk d and having projecting ends entering recesses in the other part insure the accurate position of the parts.

IV hat I claim, and desireto secure by Let- D ters Patent, is-

The combination, with the revoluble hook; of the stationary thread-case concentric therewith; the hollow shaft secured to the hook; the arm 6 secured to the said hollow shaft; the counter-shaft (1 arranged eccentric of the said hollow shaft; the disk d formed of two parts secured side by side, one part being secured to the coun tor-shaft and the other part having the internal flange d and a projecting pin; the link 6 connecting the said pin with the arm 0; and the stationary stop-shaft g inserted in the said hollow shaft and provided with a notch at its rear end engaging with the flange d and a forwardly-projecting arm, at its front end, engaging with the said thread-oase, substantially as set forth.

In testimony whereof I have affixed my signature in presence of two witnesses.

I-IARREY MOORE. Witnesses:
